Two-Tone Twins

While out and about yesterday, I found a near-twin of my bullnose out in the wild:

Yeah, not the right two-tone option (He has pinstripes instead of upper trim)... and a much poorer choice of Big 10 teams!

... but close enough?

Those of us with "less common" stock (or stock look-alike) paint: Have you ever seen your twin in the wild?

1984 F150: 300 L6, AOD, RWD. EEC IV / TFI, Feedback Carter YFA Carb. Stock everything but radio (for now).

That's cool! And I've never found a twin for Big Blue.

But your pic points out a change that was made between '84 and '85. 1980 - '84 had the color break on the side above the marker light, like your truck has, and 1985 - '86 has the paint break below the marker light, like the one on the left has.

Ah.

Also the "get it together" window stickers were different.

But from what I could see, this truck also had an AOD (or at least an AOD shift indicator) but no cruise. Same XL trim level and charcoal interior.
